“Our robot’s design emphasized agility, reliability and adaptability. We refined it through rapid iteration and testing. Our team members’ enthusiasm and prior experience in building robots—including, but not limited to, participation in the Kansai Spring Robocon in March 2025—was the key to this success. We’re grateful to our faculty advisors for their mentorship and support.”
The winning team consisted of 11 dedicated undergraduate students from KUAS Faculty of Engineering. Specializing in robotics and mechatronics, these students are a testament to the hands-on education offered at KUAS. Their consistent success in regional competitions provides invaluable practical experience and helps them develop essential project management and leadership skills. This is a core part of the Engineering program at KUAS, which also offers programs in Bioenvironmental Sciences and Global Business and Economics.
